Marianne Cresswell, Teacher - Year 2 (Swallow)

I started teaching at Bridgewater in January 2018. I was already familiar with Bridgewater school having been a parent helper since my two boys (now in Year 3 and Year 5) started at the school. I completed my teacher training in London in 2003 and then taught at the same school for 3 years, teaching Year 1 and Year 4, before moving to Berkhamsted.

Following my move to Berkhamsted and a short stint at supply teaching, I began teaching Reception class at an infant school in Tring. I taught there until the birth of my second son in January 2012.

When I am not at school, I enjoy badminton, cycling, reading and gardening.

I am currently teaching Science, Computing and PSHE to Year 2 on Fridays but am often up at school on other days too. I am very pleased to be part of the staff at Bridgewater. It is great to be working in a school with such friendly staff, supportive parents and lovely children.
